SSE-only is most important because it is the only platform that 
can still be used where ffmp3float is slower.

When I last tested in 2010, ffmp3float was faster for C-only, 
asm-only, Altivec and on the Core2Duo (iirc).

SSE-only allows to use VDPAU to watch HD, on a 500MHz P3, 
audio decoding is measurable (on any new hardware, audio 
has no performance relevance and it is not trivial to 
test afaict), it therefore might make sense to keep the 
fastest decoder.
